SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Hearing this news, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed a smile as he shook his head slightly.

He didn't take Mo Jinyu's threats seriously at all.

The so-called "born sacred spirit" was merely material for refining his Universal Mother Cauldron.

As for the Thirteen Bandits of the Emperor's Road, they were even more ridiculous.

Wanting to extract his essence blood and dig out his supreme bone was simply a fantasy, utterly absurd.

"Young Master Jun shouldn't underestimate the Thirteen Bandits of the Emperor's Road. Their identities are mysterious, their origins unknown, and there's more than one forbidden-level expert among them."

"The top-ranked figures among the thirteen bandits can pose life-threatening danger even to forbidden-level geniuses."

"It's rumored that the number one bandit, the Zhuxian Bandit who wears a ghost mask, possesses the ability to devour bloodlines and kill forbidden-level experts."

Heavenly Maiden Yuan earnestly warned.

The thirteen bandits wanted Jun Xiaoyao's Ancient Sacred Body blood and supreme bone, most likely to offer them to the Zhuxian Bandit.

It was hard to imagine how powerful the Zhuxian Bandit would become if he consumed Jun Xiaoyao's sacred body blood and supreme bone.

Of course, given Jun Xiaoyao's strength, the probability of such a thing happening was virtually zero.

"Oh?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed.

A Zhuxian Bandit wearing a ghost mask?

Interesting.

"Could this be connected to that person again?" Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

The mysteries were piling up, and Jun Xiaoyao needed to investigate them one by one.

"How do you know all this so clearly?" Jun Xiaoyao asked meaningfully, looking at Heavenly Maiden Yuan.

"Is Young Master Jun still unaware of the Divine Women's Pavilion's intelligence capabilities?" Heavenly Maiden Yuan replied calmly.

"Haha, indeed." Jun Xiaoyao smiled and said nothing more.

In his heart, he was thinking about many things.

At this moment, Lu Renjia spoke again: "Young Master, there's another piece of news that you might find very interesting."

"What is it?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

Lu Renjia then told Jun Xiaoyao about the three forbidden ancient paths.

"It seems that Sister Shengyi and the others have also stepped onto the ancient path and begun their own trials," Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly, showing a rare genuine smile.

For some reason, seeing this smile made Heavenly Maiden Yuan feel uncomfortable.

When Jun Xiaoyao dealt with her, it was as if he wore a cold mask, without any warmth.

"Is that Jiang family divine maiden with the innate Dao embryo one of Young Master Jun's lovers?" Heavenly Maiden Yuan asked, her eyes fixed on Jun Xiaoyao.

"Yes," Jun Xiaoyao replied.

Heavenly Maiden Yuan's butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes lowered as she said, "She is truly fortunate to receive such treatment from Young Master Jun."

"It's not fortune, but sincerity," Jun Xiaoyao said meaningfully, glancing at Heavenly Maiden Yuan.

Heavenly Maiden Yuan remained silent.

Lu Renjia and the others simply thought that Heavenly Maiden Yuan might be jealous.

"Alright, let's prepare. We've already delayed quite a bit, and there's still quite a distance to the Tianming Ancient Star," Jun Xiaoyao said with a flick of his sleeve.

They were preparing to set off for the Taie Temple on Tianming Ancient Star.

During this time, Jun Xiaoyao also asked Lu Renjia if he still wanted to follow him to the Taie Temple on Tianming Ancient Star.

Lu Renjia sighed and respectfully declined.

"I'm very grateful to Young Master, but my abilities are limited, and going to such a dangerous place would only be a burden to you."

"Besides, in terms of intelligence, Heavenly Maiden Yuan far surpasses me."

Lu Renjia was very helpless, but he had no choice.

He wanted to rely on Jun Xiaoyao, but he no longer had any value.

His combat power couldn't keep up, and he couldn't compare with Heavenly Maiden Yuan in terms of intelligence gathering.

Continuing to stick around Jun Xiaoyao would be somewhat awkward.

"Very well," Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, not forcing him.

After all, they were just passing acquaintances.

He directly took out a Dao Certification Seal for Lu Renjia, whose hands trembled as he received it.

Jun Xiaoyao then took out a token, which was exclusive to him.

"If you encounter danger, present this token and mention my name."

Jun Xiaoyao's words filled Lu Renjia with joy.

With this connection, even forbidden-level geniuses wouldn't dare to easily make a move against him.

"Thank you, Young Master!" Lu Renjia bowed deeply at ninety degrees, tears streaming down his face.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao set off with Heavenly Maiden Yuan, the Tai Yin Jade Rabbit, and Biling.

Watching Jun Xiaoyao and the others leave, the people of Shangqiu Holy City sighed.

The Ultimate Ancient Path was about to see new waves of activity.

At this moment, no one noticed.

In the dense crowd, a hooded figure watched Jun Xiaoyao from a distance, a cold smile appearing in his eyes.

"Finally setting off, the opportunity has come. It's time to notify them."

"Jun Xiaoyao, your Ancient Sacred Body blood and supreme bone will belong to our boss."

"Our boss is the one destined to take your life..."

The figure muttered.

Then, his form directly dissipated, hiding within the shadows of other geniuses.

It was extremely bizarre!

...

Jun Xiaoyao and his group continued their journey from the tenth checkpoint, Shangqiu Ancient Star.

The path to Tianming Ancient Star required passing through thirteen checkpoints in total, which would take considerable time.

Moreover, the strange dangers of the Ultimate Ancient Path were clearly more numerous than those of the Emperor's Road.

Although they still posed no fatal threat to Jun Xiaoyao, they would occasionally delay his progress.

Additionally, people like Jiang Shengyi and Jun Moxiao were also making their way through the ancient path.

They didn't deliberately seek out Jun Xiaoyao, not wanting to pass through the Ultimate Ancient Path under his protection.

Everyone had their own trials.

If fate allowed, they would naturally meet.

Other geniuses from the Desolate Celestial Domain also began to make their mark on the ancient path.

For example, Sword Demon Ye Guchen, who had already stepped onto the ancient path earlier, rose all the way up and attained forbidden-level status.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year had gone by.

Jun Xiaoyao and his group were finally approaching Tianming Ancient Star.

The closer they got to her homeland, the more excited Biling became.

On this day, aboard the starship, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly said, "Biling, can you hide yourself?"

"Why?" Biling asked, puzzled.

"What do you think those snake people will do if they see you by my side?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

Biling wasn't stupid. After thinking for a moment, she said, "They might first consider you a bad person."

"Exactly, even if you try to explain, they will forcibly take us to Queen Medusa."

"So, if you can hide yourself, when I enter Tianming Ancient Star, I can directly place you in one of the snake people's tribes, allowing you to return safely. Wouldn't that be better?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

Biling nodded and said, "Young Master is so thoughtful."

She increasingly felt that Jun Xiaoyao was a rare, genuinely good person.

Afterward, Biling's delicate body shimmered, transforming into a small cyan snake.

Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand, silently releasing the third seal of the Forbidden Immortal.

All of Biling's perceptions were sealed, preventing her from knowing what was happening outside.

Jun Xiaoyao placed the small cyan snake inside his robe.

"Young Master Jun, are you deceiving this little girl?" Heavenly Maiden Yuan teased with a smile.

"How is this deception? I'm protecting her," Jun Xiaoyao replied calmly.

As a bargaining chip, Biling naturally couldn't be exposed casually.

If seen by the snake people, it would cause many troubles in advance.

Jun Xiaoyao didn't want to attract Queen Medusa's attention before even reaching the Taie Temple.

After hiding Biling, Jun Xiaoyao and Heavenly Maiden Yuan's group piloted the starship into the region where Tianming Ancient Star was located.

At the same time, in a part of space near the Tianming Ancient Star region.

An enormous tower ship was traversing between the stars.

There were many powerful auras on board.

On the side of the ship's hull was carved the emblem of the Myriad Races Trading Alliance.

This was a slave-capturing ship used by the Myriad Races Trading Alliance to capture alien race slaves, with powerful experts guarding it.

At this moment, on the deck of the tower ship, a graceful young man in blue clothes, wearing a pure and handsome smile, was answering a beautiful woman beside him.

This blue-clothed young man was the son of some big figure in the Myriad Races Trading Alliance, and also a renowned genius on the Emperor's Road, called the Floating Cloud Young Master.

The woman standing beside him wore a pink dress, with a graceful figure, slender waist, and long jade-like legs.

She was actually a familiar face from the Desolate Celestial Domain, the divine maiden of the Divine Beast Palace, Yan Rumeng.
